The son of Grand Duke [[Ulder Ravengard]], | The son of Grand Duke [[Ulder Ravengard]], ''"the Blade of Frontiers",'' as he is called, is bound by pact to serve the devil [[Mizora]]. Granted fiendish powers by his pactmistress, Wyll must hunt all manner of devils as part of the pact that binds them together. Prepared to sacrifice anything to protect [[Baldur's Gate]], Wyll must struggle to maintain his desire to do good against Mizora's machinations for the opposite.{{note|Wyll's story was almost entirely rewritten for full release after fan feedback. In Early Access, he struggled with a brutal side and with living up to the title of the Blade of Frontiers, and had a particular hatred of goblins. His personality on release was rewritten to be more genuinely heroic and kind-hearted, with his personal struggles focusing more on his relationship with his father and with Mizora, and his hatred of goblins being swapped for a hatred of devils and their kind.|name=rewritten}} | ||
=== Description === | === Description === | ||
Heroic and kindhearted, but conflicted and ever struggling against his patron, Wyll has dedicated most of his life to fighting on behalf of the people of the Sword Coast. He takes his duty and title seriously, and speaks boastfully of his skills and past as ''"the Blade of Frontiers"''. He has a more playful side, suggesting that the party stop to try the drinks at [[The Waning Moon]], and wistfully saying to Karlach that he would love to stop and swim at the beach in Act Three.{{note|name=rewritten}} | |||
He is a skilled and battle-hardened warrior, having been in service of Mizora for over seven years at the start of Act 1. Despite his battle scars, and possible devilish appearance, Wyll is young, being only 24. Though exiled from Baldur's Gate since he was 17, he still retains some of his noble upbringing, not only in the manner of his speaking, but also in some of the past-times he has such as dancing and reading. | |||
Wyll's stone eye is a gift from Mizora, given to him to replace the one he lost fighting the [[Cult of the Dragon]]. It is actually a sending stone, used to track and to communicate with him at all times. | |||
